    I am glad we stayed there for our time in PR.

    The only tin opener in captivity was broken. I think it was the one used by Noah on the Ark.

    An interesting B&B/Hotel. The Black Rooster looks like Topsy, in that it just grew and grew. So there are three (I think) properties which together make up the accommodation. They are side by side but not interconnected. Check in and check out were quick and easy. Checkout is particularly so. The instruction in the room is "leave your key and go" We rented what was listed as a studio, and it was ideal for us. It could be described as a small bed sit with a lovely large bathroom. The equipment was adequate for basic cooking, the bed was very comfortable, and location was great. There was also a communal kitchen but it looked unloved and unused. There was also customer laundry but we didn't make use of that. The one staff person (manager?) we met was friendly and professional. Although listed in the B&B section there is only breakfast if you make it yourself, at least in the section we were in. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

    Access to front street parking was somewhat inconvenient.

    Loved the privacy of our own room! So clean and quiet! Reservation requests were all met with no problems. Being shared accommodation, we had our own bathroom with heated floors! We were the only ones in the building, so had the whole suite to ourselves.

    kinda expensive but I heard that alot in Prince Rupert, the small town nobody likes with premium cost on everything.

    I liked the option to have the appartement room for a extra cost. Highliner was horrible so this place felt great.

    Early and late comings and goings of occupants and transients catching ferries, etc., might be a downside for an extended stay.

    Perfect for those who need 2 separate bedrooms, bathrooms, and 1 kitchen.

    I understand there were not many people using the room before us. We could find many spiderwebs on things that are used frequently (like the kitchen sink). The floor was also dirty (no mopping or vacuuming for a good time). Not a big deal, but I would appreciate better maintenance. The walls were thin. Pipe noises, people talking, doors banging.

    Full kitchen, overall space was good.

    We were at the front of the building and there was a lot of road noise and talking outside, especially just after midnight when the ferry had arrived. It seemed quite expensive for what it was but then all of Prince Rupert accommodation seemed expensive.

    A fairly spacious apartment with a reasonable kitchen

    Needed more than 2 towels but was not sure where to get them as we arrived back late each day. An extra set would have been helpful. A fan in the room would be a good idea. They did supply coffee supplies, soap…no tea towels just napkins.

    We’ll located. Clean. Simple. Parking was good. I’d stay there again.

    There is no elevator so you must be able to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs. It was no problem for us.

    We have stayed at the Black Rooster before and we really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this place. There is a communal kitchen where we shared travel stories with other guests. It is a short 5 minute walk into town. We arrived very late on the ferry and check in was very easy.

    We were at ground level facing the road, so car noise and ppl just passing our window was often. The bathroom is tiny and we needed to maneuver just to sit on the toilet, plus there was no hand hold shower head making with lower water pressure difficult to really get a full shower.

    Clean, comfortable, easy access and parking. Had everything we needed in terms of kitchen and living room.

    The suite could use a ceiling fan and another window in the bedroom one blind wouldn’t close properly something was blocking it from going all the way down so we had to the street light shining right through the kitchen window and the sensered kitchen light came on in the morning all by itself so I eventually had to unplug it.

    Very beautiful suite modern spotlessly clean awesome shower new fridge stove everything a person needs to enjoy themselves.
